Welcome to the first of my FIVE FOR THE FOURTH posts! Mr. FBBQ and I hosted a little bbq for some friends and family on the 4th of July. I decided to make a plethora of pasta salads. This is the first of the five. We had so much food. Ridiculous amounts. What did we not have? So many guests. It was kind of a last minute deal so a lot of people already had plans. Needless to say, we had a lot of leftovers. And we sent people home with a lot of food.
To make this salad we need a pasta base. Because I was making a bunch of different pasta salads, I cooked all the pasta together in advance. In this case, we have rotini. We also obviously need blueberries and peaches. For the dressing, a lemon, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard. We also need some baby arugula.
Make the dressing by whisking together the lemon juice, the maple syrup, and the Dijon mustard.
Add the cooked and cooled noodles to the baby arugula. Add the blueberries.
Grill the peaches. Add them to the dish.
Top with the dressing. Easy Peasy, you are good to go! See you next week for salad number 2!
